Lucy Fallon is dating again

'Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon is dating again.

The 20-year-old star - who plays Bethany Platt in the long-running soap - only split from her long-term boyfriend Ryan Roberts three weeks ago but it seems she isn't wasting any time finding love again as she's now romancing Tom Leech.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Lucy [has had] loads of offers from people in the business at parties and showbiz bashes but she loves down-to-earth lads who like the same films and the same music as her. Tom is a well educated fella. He's got a degree from Manchester University but is pretty private. He knows that he'll be in the spotlight now he is dating Lucy but he reckons that is a price worth paying for going out with one of the hottest girls on the telly."

And the blonde beauty has seemingly wasted no time rubbing salt in the wound as she took to her social networking sites over the weekend to share a shot of her cosying up to her new beau as she planted a kiss on his head.

Meanwhile, news Lucy has jumped straight into another relationship will no doubt come as a shock to Ryan, whom she dated for three years, as they initially split due to her busy career.

A source said recently: "The reality is that she works massively long hours and then there are a lot of awards ceremonies and other bashes to go to and Ryan is quite a shy bloke and wasn't into the whole celebrity circuit thing."
